To all whom may concern:

Be it known that ii GEORGE E. HARVEY, acitizen the United States, residing at Buffalo, eounty of Erie, State of New York, have inven tl certain new ancl useful inrroi 'ements in Dish-llheel Construction; rleciere the following to be a full,

description of the same, ref/ hurl. the accompanying draw the cherscters of referenc ereon, which form n part of this relates to improvements in construction for use on motor a f cularly to cars having at mood wheels. nrinc' l of my invention i to provide sh l (lifili'S to he used in place 0 wood sp .5; now provided on such cars,

end means for mounting the (lisks on the huh uses with the wooden wheels, without the necessity of having to provide 2L special term of hub to he used in connecj tion' with the original one, or having to relatter or (listurlo it in any way. i inother object is to design the disk wheel l structure so tha the same sized and numher of may be used for either the front 3 or rear wheels, whe hubs oi which as is well known, are different as to length and in other points of construction as well.

A further object of the invention is to produce a simple ttllll inexpensive device and Vet which will lie excmaling'ly effective, ior the which it designed.

These ohjeots l accomplish by means of such structure onrl relative arrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of ihe following specification and claims.

in tl e drawings similar characters of reference indicate corresponding giarts in the several views.

Fig. l is a half structure as applied the wheel.

Fig". is a similar view showing the struc-, ture applied to the rear-axle hub.

Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference on the drawings. the' numeral 1 denotes the standard front-axlehuh and l the reanrixlc hub.

The former has a flange 2 formed therewith intermediate its ends, which is used to clamp the hub of the wood Wheel to, the latter being positioned outwardly of this ross section of my wheel to the fronbaxle hub of Specification of Letters Patent.

flange, and is of cou. U larly the hub 1 has a V'filLl the outer enrl oil the against inwardly lhc 36 ing likewise removed.

In applying my (ii axle hu os. i make use or adapter 3 to slip cti" ably of pressed motel anti. lei, E6

than the flanges and 2 th projects outwardly o the Wheel and is bent or curled out as at 45 she ouierrli the Wheel being lieutabout and welded thereto, the om disk being weldeit to it fixed suitable form.

The inner disk '5},

rim 6, has no direct eon 3, but extends parallel to ti bar 3 i thereof a certain rlisfluce in' vsu from the space therehetwcen losing; (l w rings 8, prefcrehly of Woo-ll. Both the sh and inner-disk are bored to pass over hubs l and 1 and cri cs thereof surrounding the bore being; t-urneil or headed towerii in this manner;

since the (l'sk structure is eileoteil he mountezl onto the "front axle hub i. from the outer end thereof, the bend or curl on inner disk Will then fit the fillet 1O junction of said hub with flange The rear axle huh however receives (lisk structure thereon from the inner thereof, so that in this fossil 3 v the out will til the inner fillet ll) hetw said huh and its flange Thus it w seen that identicallv li'irmeil sflruct he used for both the front that they may he connected to plates 14- which "will cover the space between the shell 3 and the hubs l and l, and effectively conceal the bolts.

l have particularly described only enter and inner d" being; used, bliil ehnwn,

ill in mediate disk 15 extending (lingerie l ,beituen the outer :ind inner disks is nl'so l1 roin the 'lcregxoing; description it will be vreadily seen that l have produced such device as subsimitinlly fulfills The nbj'eets of the invention as set forth 'herein.

Vihile this specificnion eels forth in denil 5hr present and preferred construction of the device, still in practice such devialions from such deziil may be resorted to in; do not form a departure from the spirie Oi the inWeni'Jion defined by the np mnded claims;

Having thus deecrilz-ed my inveniien, when I claim as new and useful and desire in secure by Leiters Pate is:

l. A disl; wheel strncinre including inner miter disks, a shell adapted lo iii ever a. hub. the enter disk being fixed 2 :0 the rim-edge ofizhe shell but the inner disk being: spaced inwardly oi' ihc shell, and filler members between "Lire shell and inner disk.

2. in combinnion with hub having :1 lii: 55c projecting onlwerdly therefrom; a ru-sli ied shell inning an inner bore adapted in fit over die hub nndnnother bore :idnnied i'io receive the iiengelhercin, an

outer disk fixed to the outer edge of the shell, inner disk spaced from the inner end of lihe shell, filler blocks about thc hub between the shell and inner disks, and means fOfSQGUIiXlg said inner disk, filler bloclcsnnd shell. "no the flange.

3. in combination with a hub hai ing e flange projecting outwardly therefrom, a cup-shaped shell having an inner bore adapted to it over the hub and another bore adapted to receive the flange therein, another disk fixed $0 the outer edge of *ihe shell, an

inner disk spaced from the inner end of the V shell, filler blocks about the hub between the slieli and inner disks and bolts passing through aid shell filler blocks, inner disk and flange to hold the same together in driving relation. f

in combination with a hub having a, flange projecting outwardly therefrom, a cup-shaped shell having an inner bore adapted to fit over the hnband another bore adnpted i0 receive the flange therein. the shell projecting outwardly of the flange. a hub cap on the hub, and a plate fixed on said cap and extending in the outer rim-edge oi the shell to enclose the space between ;he hub and shell rim.
